Saturday Night Live Under Fire After Cracking Inappropriate Holocaust Jokes

Comedian Larry David garnered caustic criticism from some in the public this weekend after he delivered a monologue on “Saturday Night Live” that contained what some felt were inappropriate jokes about the Holocaust.

“I’ve always, always been obsessed with women, and I’ve often wondered if I’d grown up in Poland when Hitler came to power and was sent to a concentration camp, would I still be checking out women in the camp?” he said during the monologue, as reported by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

“I think I would,” he added before continuing with his joke.

“Hey, Shlomo, look at that one over there by Barracks 8, oh my God is she gorgeous,” he said. “I’ve had my eye on her for weeks. I’d like to go over and say something to her. Of course, the problem is, there are no good opening lines in a concentration camp.”
